Sydney Festival - Ilbijerri presents FOLEY

THE ALTRUISTS
25 Shane Phillips

As head of the elder-founded Tribal Warrior Association, Shane Phillips aims to get Redfern's young indigenous people working and learning. This year, he also got them boxing. Three times a week, before sunrise, once wayward locals train alongside bankers, bakers and cops, forging relationships that had never  before existed. 'I'm born and raised in Redfern and I'm raising my kids here,' says Phillips, 46. Crime rates are dropping, but more importantly says Phillips, the community is coming together. 'I'm seeing families getting healthy together, and kids I would never imagine going and chasing work. I'm seeing kids in places where kids should be.'

Redfern
In 2012, Redfern will become a crucible for change. In January, Sydney Festival establishes Black Capital, an arts precinct based in CarriageWorks to host performances, seminars and exhibitions exploring Australia’s indigenous soul. At the same time, work begins on the ABC TV series Redfern Now, stories of six households in Redfern. And having provided the vivid backdrop to Underbelly Razor, the land that once housed 'The Block' will rise anew as the Pemulwuy Project. The development will include housing, health care, gymnasiums and open parkland, with plans for an Indigenous Cultural Centre proceeding apace. Walk Redfern’s struggle streets in 2012 and you’ll find the burned edges blossoming with cafés, bars, restaurants, workshops and galleries. ..
